Saved by Kamada: Crystal Palace star is now finished at Selhurst Park

Football FanCast writer Angus Sinclair argues that Jean-Philippe Mateta appears to be finished at Crystal Palace following another ineffective display against Hoffenheim in the Europa League. While Daichi Kamada salvaged a late equalizer to keep under-pressure manager Pierre Sage in his job, Mateta struggled in attack before being substituted after 75 minutes.

Sinclair highlights Mateta's ongoing discontent at Selhurst Park, noting prior attempts to secure a move elsewhere, including a failed transfer to AC Milan and a contract dispute. With the French striker failing to click in Sage's system, the writer believes Mateta is now increasingly likely to secure an exit during the upcoming January transfer window.
